Email: Nominations Open for Regular Directors on the Academy Board of Directors

March 22, 2012

As was announced in the Actuarial Update in January and
February, Academy members will be voting online again in 2012 to elect
three Regular Directors to the Academy Board. For a second year, Academy members can nominate themselves or others by petition
for consideration as a candidate for Regular Director. The Academy Board instituted the nomination-by-petition process in 2011
on a trial basis with the goal of allowing for competitive elections for Regular Director. Although no members submitted
nominating petitions in 2011, the Board has decided to continue the trial for 2012.

The Nominating Committee, given the likely composition of officers to be elected by the Academy Board of Directors later this year,
expects that the three Regular Director vacancies for this election should be filled by two Health practitioners and one from any
other practice area to maintain the balance of practice area representation across the entire Board as provided in the
Nominating Committee Guidelines.

You can nominate a colleague—or yourself—for consideration as a candidate for Regular Director on the Academy Board of
Directors. Nominating petitions
are now available on the Academy website. At least 50 signatures of Academy members representing at least five employers is the minimum
requirement to place a member’s name in front of the Academy’s Nominating Committee. The deadline to submit completed petitions is
April 27. A complete description of the petition requirements and procedures is appended to the
nominating petitions available online.

The petition process is in addition to our long-standing procedure of requesting members to recommend themselves or others for Regular
Director positions by submitting a name or names directly
to the Nominating Committee.
